Currency

Kenia se amptelike geldeenheid is die Keniaanse Skilling (KES).

M-Pesa, 'n mobiele geld oordrag platform, is die koning in Nairobi vir enige klein of groot betalings. Groot kredietkaarte soos Visa en Mastercard word ook wyd aanvaar, maar om kontant of Mpesa vir klein aankope te hê, is nuttig aangesien klein handelaars nie bankkaarte aanvaar nie. Geldautomaten en valutawisseldienste is readily beskikbaar en sommige (in grootwinkels) kan USD of Euro uitbetaal.

Major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted as well, but having cash or M-Pesa for small purchases is helpful, as small traders do not run bank cards. ATMs and currency exchange services are readily available and some (in major shopping malls) can dispense USD or Euro.

Hoe om na Nairobi te gaan

  1. Per Lug: Jomo Kenyatta Internasionale Lughawe (NBO) is Nairobi se primêre lughawe, met verbindings na hoofstede regoor die wêreld. Die nasionale lugdienste is Kenya Airways (KQ), wat deel is van die Sky team Alliansie en vlieë na groot bestemmings in en uit Afrika.
  2. Per Pad: As jy van buurlande in die Oos-Afrika-streek reis, verbind busse soos Easy Coach en Tahmeed Nairobi met stede soos Kampala, Dar es Salaam en Kigali.

Vervoer in Nairobi

  1. Aankoms vanaf die lughawe vir studente en deelnemers: Lughawe shuttlebusse sal beskikbaar gestel word vir studente en enige ander deelnemers wat van ons lughawe shuttles gebruik wil maak. Inligting sal in Julie via e-pos gestuur word aan self-gefinansierde geregistreerde deelnemers om vir die lughawe shuttles aan te meld. Die shuttlebusse sal by al die terminaal op Jomo Kenyatta Internasionale Lughawe optel en afle.
  2. Skakelbusse verskaf na amptelike gebeurtenisse: Daar sal ook skakelbusse wees wat mense op die toere gelys neem en na/vanaf die afsluitingsevent.
  3. Ride-Hailing Toepassings: Uber en Little Cab is betroubaar en bekostigbaar. Vermy Uber chap chap (ekonomie) te all koste, die voertuig kwaliteit is dikwels tekort en bestuurders is 'n bietjie onprofessioneel. Gaan vir Comfort of ten minste Uber X. Dieselfde geld vir Little Cab, vermy ekonomie ritte en kies vir Comfort.
  4. Matatus: Hierdie hip en kleurvolle minibusse is 'n kulturele ervaring, maar kan oorweldigend wees vir eerste keer gebruikers. Sommige roetes is ook berug vir sakkerolle. Overweeg hierdie opsie wanneer jy in die geselskap van plaaslike Wikiman-werknemers is.
  5. Boda Bodas: Motortaxis is vinnig om verkeer te vermy, maar minder veilig - ons raai buitelanders wat nuut in Nairobib is af om dit te gebruik, aangesien dit die beste geniet word met 'n bietjie plaaslike kundigheid.
  6. Loop:' Vermy om alleen in die nag of oor lang afstande te loop.


Veiligheid Wenke

  1. Vermy om waardevolle voorwerpe in die openbaar te wys.
  2. Gebruik net taxi's wat aanlyn bel, veral in die nag.
  3. Wees versigtig wanneer jy vreemde gebiede ondersoek - raadpleeg die plaaslike bevolking of jou hotel vir raad.
  4. Hou jou besittings in die oog op in oorvol plekke.

Nairobi below aan om 'n opwindende en ryk bestemming te wees vir Wikimania 2025. Met sy mengsel van lewendige kultuur, warm gasvryheid en unieke ervarings, sal jou reis onvergeetlik wees.

Venue

The gathering will happen at multiple venues throughout Gigiri, a small and easily navigable neighborhood, to allow participants an opportunity to experience diverse offerings and the warmth of Kenyan hospitality. Wikimania will be hybrid, offering both in-person and virtual participation.

Each of the different in-person venues have their own individual capacities. Overall, in person this Wikimania will be similar in size to Wikimania Singapore because of venue restrictions. For the event we have had a total of 725 places to fill including scholars and other attendees. The final number of attendees may vary slightly depending on cancellations and last minute additions. If you have booked flights and hotels but not managed to register, email us at wikimania@wikimedia.org.

Physical Security

  • The venue hotels will be conducting bag checks on the way in for all attendees – these will go through the hotel scanners.
  • We will also have security staff throughout the venue.
  • If the alarm goes off please follow the instructions of venue and security staff.
  • Expect security check points coming out of the airport for hand luggage and going into the airport for all luggage.
  • You will also need to go through a security scanner on the way into the airport and this involves coming off the bus and then back on again, before the main airport drop off area.
  • Take care in the town – make sure you use Ubers and travel in groups to suggested restaurants in either Gigiri or Westlands areas. There are many options also in the Village market Mall next to the Trademark.
  • Don’t walk alone at night. Use hotel or conference-arranged transportation.
  • Carry ID while in Kenya such as driving license, avoid carrying passport, always have a copy of your identification in digital format as well.

Keep your phone and valuables out of sight in public areas.

  • Be wary of pickpockets in busy areas like downtown, markets, and matatus (minibuses).
  • Only use licensed taxis or trusted ride-hailing apps like Uber comfort.
  • Avoid ATMs on the street. Use machines in banks or malls.
  • Do not accept gifts, food or drink from strangers
